NAACP Petition Seeking City Council Support

The NAACP petition calling for federal charges against George Zimmerman in the murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin may have the support of Detroit City Council.

Sources report that Councilwoman JoAnn Watson is expected to propose the resolution at city council’s meeting on Tuesday, supporting the petition that calls for civil rights violations be filed by the Department of Justice against Zimmerman.
